Pink Floyd to release new music this fall

No one has said whether the band's former co-frontman, writer and bassist will return for what amounts to a reissue of the band's last record, 1994's "Division Bell," which Waters didn't appear on.

But ... the band is recording new music for the reissue. Or at least revamped versions of songs recorded during the "Division Bell" sessions.

Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour's wife, author Polly Samson, leaked the news via Twitter Saturday, writing, "Btw Pink Floyd album out in October is called The Endless River. Based on 1994 sessions is Rick Wright's swansong and very beautiful."

"The recording did start during the 'Division Bell' sessions (and yes, it was the side project originally titled 'The Big Spliff' that (Pink Floyd drummer) Nick Mason spoke about). Which is why there are Richard Wright tracks on it. But David and Nick have gone in and done a lot more since then," she wrote Sunday. "It was originally to be a completely instrumental recording, but I came in last December and sang on a few tracks. David then expanded on my backing vocals and has done a lead on at least one of them."

Within hours of her post, fans were asking McBroom-Hudson about a reconciliation between Gilmour and Waters, who have famously feuded for decades. Though they seemed to have repaired their rift in recent years and actually performed together, McBroom-Hudson says fans probably shouldn't hold their breath.
